What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 18 and 82?

Answer: LCM of 18 and 82 is 738

(Seven hundred thirty-eight)

Finding LCM for 18 and 82 using GCF's of these numbers

The first method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 82 is to find Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of these numbers. Here's the formula:

LCM = (Number1 × Number2) ÷ GCF

GCF of numbers 18 and 82 is 2, so

LCM = (18 × 82) ÷ 2

LCM = 1476 ÷ 2

LCM = 738

Finding LCM for 18 and 82 by Listing Multiples

The second method to find LCM for numbers 18 and 82 is to list out the common multiples for both nubmers and pick the first which matching:

Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 144, 162, 180, 198, 216, 234, 252, 270, 288, 306, 324, 342, 360, 378, 396, 414, 432, 450, 468, 486, 504, 522, 540, 558, 576, 594, 612, 630, 648, 666, 684, 702, 720, 738, 756, 774

Multiples of 82: 82, 164, 246, 328, 410, 492, 574, 656, 738, 820, 902

So the LCM for 18 and 82 is 738
